Greek yogurt has a much thicker, creamier consistency than regular, non-Greek yogurt and it's a fairly new discovery for me. I love custard type things and I was very excited to try FAGE when I won some from BlogHer.
FAGE (pronounced "fa-yeh") Greek yogurt comes in both lowfat (2%) and nonfat styles. One cup (8oz) of FAGE Total 2% has only 150 calories, 4.5 grams of fat (3g saturated), and 20 grams of protein while the FAGE Total 0% contains 120 calories, 0 grams fat, and 20 grams of protein.
They've recently come out with cherry, peach and strawberry flavors that have a fruit cup attached to the side so you can mix it in, or enjoy some fruit with each bite. There's also a honey variety.
But, how did it taste?
I loved it. The texture is really, really thick and creamy. It is some serious yogurt and has a bit of a tart and tangy flavor as opposed to the common yogurt varieties you see in the store that are packed with sugar. The Total 0% is tangier and would make a great substitute for sour cream in some recipes. Once you get used to it (if you've never had Greek yogurt before), it really tastes like an indulgent treat.
Be sure to check out FAGE website for great recipes featuring FAGE Greek yogurt and you can even find out how FAGE Greek yogurt is made.
